NAME

vwscanw — convert formatted input from a window

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdarg.h> #include <curses.h>

int vwscanw(WINDOW *win, char *fmt, va_list varglist);

DESCRIPTION

The vwscanw() function achieves the same effect as wscanw() using a variable argument list.  The third argument is a va_list, as defined in <stdarg.h>

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, vwscanw() returns OK.  Otherwise, it returns ERR. 

ERRORS

No errors are defined. 

APPLICATION USAGE

The vwscanw() function is deprecated because it relies on deprecated functions in the X/Open System Interfaces and Headers, Issue 4, Version 2 specification .  The vw_scanw() function is preferred.
